(The image shows) low intensity signal of the spleen
Explanation:
Positron emission tomography (PET)[1] is a nuclear medicine, functional imaging technique that produces a three-dimensional image of functional processes in the body. The system detects pairs of gamma rays emitted indirectly by a positron-emitting radionuclide (tracer), which is introduced into the body on a biologically active molecule. Three-dimensional images of tracer concentration within the body are then constructed by computer analysis. In modern PET-CT scanners, three dimensional imaging is often accomplished with the aid of a CT X-ray scan performed on the patient during the same session, in the same machine.

...low count density....


Explanation:
The spleen shows homogeneous mild (low count density) radiotracer uptake, both kidneys are normal, kidney parenchyma is radioactive avid with dense tracer distribution.
